Elliott arrived at grandma's this morning without his backpack, which he accidentally left at home. Fortunately, I was showered and dressed, so we immediately jumped in the car and drove to Elliott's house. After retrieving the backpack, we headed to school.
Before we got too close, however, Elliott tells me, "people are going to think you're crazy with those things in your hair." With all the scurrying, I had forgotten about the five small curlers in my hair!
I understood Elliott's point and quickly removed the curlers. But I couldn't help thinking it wasn't that long ago it didn't matter how grandma looked. We seem to have arrived at the "don't embarrass me stage" overnight. My nostalgia quickly vanished, however, as I watched Elliott walk into school wearing his Santa hat with Mickey Mouse ears.
